Yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day for our brigade.

On Satuday evening a large storm rolled through our area and a number of grass fires broke out as a result of the lightning strikes which kept a lot of crews busy throughout the night.

On sunday morning our crew were out assisting in the mopping up and blacking out the area of a large fire in our zone, that took most of the day.

While returning back to the station we were then called to another fire in our area which turned out to be opposite the fire station. We ended up with 3 unit from our station plus another 3 unit from the ACT so we were able to get it under control and blacked out before it got away.

All in all, it was quite a busy day. I think I did about 13 hours straight so I slept well last night.

Tomorrow is looking like another nasty day with 39ºc and up to 50kph winds out of the north so I'll be back at the station all day as quick response should anything ocour.

Hopefully it will be a quiet non eventful day.
